This 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air was purchased by the seller in 2011 and was subsequently refurbished and modified with work including a repaint in red and white, customizing the interior, upgraded braking, suspension, and steering systems, and installing a Chevrolet Performance Connect and Cruise 6.2-liter LS3 V8 paired with a 4L85E four-speed automatic transmission. Features include a limited-slip differential, Billet Specialties wheels, four-wheel disc brakes, air conditioning, power steering, power windows, a billet steering wheel, a Dakota Digital VHX gauge cluster, a Pioneer Bluetooth/USB Stereo, JL Audio subwoofers, a custom exhaust system, and chrome exterior trim.
The car was refinished in red and white during the refurbishment. Features include chrome Bel Air trim, front and rear bumpers, and dual exhaust outlets.
Chrome 20″ Billet Specialities wheels wear Sumitomo tires. The front suspension has reportedly been modified with components from Classic Performance Products, and a four-link rear suspension with coilovers and a power rack and pinion steering system are installed. Stopping power is provided by a Wilwood master cylinder and four-wheel disc brakes.
The cabin features front TMI bucket seats with black vinyl upholstery along with a matching dash, carpets, door panels, and rear seats. Interior equipment includes chrome and machined components as well as air conditioning, power windows, a floor-mounted shifter, a replacement headliner, a Pioneer USB/MP3 stereo, and Infinity cabin speakers with JL Audio Subwoofers mounted in a trunk enclosure.
The billet steering wheel frames a Dakota Digital VHX gauge cluster with a 160-mph speedometer, an 8k-rpm tachometer, and auxiliary displays for fuel level, coolant temperature, oil pressure, and voltage. The digital odometer shows just under 2k miles, all of which have been added by the seller. Total mileage is unknown.
The 6.2-liter LS3 V8 was installed during the refurbishment. The vehicle features custom headers, a replacement fuel tank and fuel pump, a billet front drive pulley system, and an aftermarket radiator with dual electric fans. The oil has been changed in preparation for sale.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a 4L85-E four-speed automatic transmission.
